They might need the extra nutrients Ulzeraide Plus provides daily?"
🚨 Reacts to saddling and cover changes even though it fits 🚨 Girthy and touchy especially during grooming. 🚨 Shows difficulty moving forward, bending, and maintaining a correct posture. 🚨 Exhibits increased irritability, nervousness, and unexpected behaviors like bucking and rearing. 🚨 Struggles to hold vertebrae adjustments. 🚨 Muscle sore for no apparent reason even after bodywork. 🚨 Body soreness over the lumbar region and withers, soreness through the flank and over the last rib. 🚨 Pain in the wither region even though a professional saddle fitter checks the saddle numerous times. 🚨 Showing signs of gut pain, and a bloated stomach. 🚨 Poor appetite, weight loss, and poor condition. 🚨 The horse has repeated colic episodes. 🚨 Walking away from meals.Equine Gastric and Hindgut Ulcers
Several factors contribute to the development of these ulcers. Gastric ulcers in horses are primarily caused by the erosion of the stomach lining due to prolonged exposure to stomach acid. Even under the best management program, a horse can develop gastric ulcers and hindgut ulcers, from the stress of travel, stabling, competitions, separation anxiety, and injuries. Supplementing with a nutritional supplement can help, alongside veterinary medication and diet changes.Ulzeraide Plus - Battle Gastric Distress Naturally!
Discover the Synergy of probiotics, herbal extracts, and earth-based nutrients to soothe and protect your horse’s digestive system. Ulzeraide Plus helps support the Gastrointestinal system and contains a mycotoxin binder (Meriden Fusion DYAD) to aid in the management of the harmful effects of feed-borne mycotoxins.
''When light pressure is applied to the acupuncture points marked in red, the horse will twitch, bite, kick, pull faces, or drop back. This can indicate gastric ulcers, grass-related problems, incorrect feeding, or a badly fitting saddle".

Pazture Mag – Magnesium and B1
During spring and autumn, if a horse is not receiving enough magnesium and B1 from its diet, it can become spooky, grumpy, muscle sore, and difficult to handle. Pazture Mag is a natural supplement that helps to ease anxiety and improve focus and concentration.
Pazture Mag is a daily nutritional supplement that provides a highly absorbable form of magnesium and thiamine (B1). Pazture Mag is perfect for feeding in times of grass growth or when it rains after a dry spell.
[caption id="attachment_1238" align="alignnone" width="300"]

Vitamin B1 plays a crucial role in the proper transmission of nerve impulses, allowing horses to feel more focused and at ease.
If your horse or pony shows any of the symptoms below, they would benefit from daily supplementation of Pazture Mag:
- Hates being touched or groomed.
- Muscle pain, spasms, cramping, twitches, tremors, and flinching.
- Grumpy during cover changes.
- Spooky, when normally calm.
- Over-reactive to stimuli, such as sound and movement.
- Lacks concentration when ridden, especially in Spring and Autumn.
- Inconsistent behavior from one ride to the next.
- Increased excitability or bucking.
- They are difficult to handle or ride when they are normally cooperative.
What does Thiamine, (Vitamin B1) do for horses?
Thiamine is needed for the efficient metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It is also critical for the processing of lactic and pyruvic acids, which contribute to "tying up" and is especially important in competition horses that are often fed large amounts of grain to support athletic ability.Vitamin B1 may be lacking due to:
- Hard Working Horses
- Horses on high grain diets
- Horses suffering from hindgut acidosis
- Horses suffering from stress
Why feed Magnesium to Horses?
Magnesium plays an important part in nerve and muscle function. Horses who are deficient show signs of nervousness, and excitability, are jumpy, and have tight sore backs which are not related to saddle fit. They have muscle tremors and skin hypersensitivity. A magnesium-deficient horse is likely to have a poor tolerance to work, fatigue quickly, and be prone to tying up. They build up lactic acid more quickly which is why magnesium deficient horses sometimes have behavior problems. They fatigue more quickly after work and don't recover as well. When a horse gets excited, its body uses magnesium to calm down and relax. The lower the magnesium level, the lower the threshold for new stress. Magnesium deficient horses can start calm during exercise. As the session progresses, they become spookier and more stressed.What Causes Magnesium Deficiency?
Magnesium tends to be deficient in Spring grasses due to the fast rate of growth. This is part of the reason why horses exhibit signs of Spring Flush (silly behavior), as magnesium deficiency commonly results in behavioral problems in horses.From: $32.50

Testimonial - Hana Bognuda
Hey Rachel, the new products are amazing! I can't believe how much calmer all the horses are, it's insane! Pazture Guarde and Ulzeraide are working wonders, even Dee can be out on the fresh grass and doesn't bat an eyelid at everything! Here's a photo of Dee in his first 1.15m on the weekend. I saw the wrong stride coming off the corner and had an uh oh moment but he's so much more focused now since starting the new products. He took over and we made it over without any problems!
The Secret Sauce Behind Thiamine (Vitamin B1) for Horses
Thiamine is needed for the efficient metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It is also critical for the processing of lactic and pyruvic acids, which contribute to "tying up" and is especially important in competition horses that are often fed large amounts of grain to support athletic ability. If your horse is prone to "tying up," B1 is key in keeping that under control, especially for competition horses that consume a lot of grain to fuel their performance. Here’s why your horse might be low on Thiamine:- Hard-working horses with high energy demands
- Horses on high-grain diets
- Horses dealing with hindgut acidosis
- Horses under constant stress
Why Is Your Horse Deficient in Magnesium?
Springtime can be a nightmare for horses, thanks to fast-growing grasses that are low in magnesium. This deficiency is one of the main reasons you’ll see your horse acting out during the “Spring Flush.” Magnesium is essential for keeping your horse calm, and a lack of it often leads to behavioral problems.Why Feed Magnesium to Horses with Grass Sensitivities?
Magnesium is a workhorse mineral—playing a role in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It’s crucial for energy production, nerve and muscle function, and even keeping your horse’s heart rate in check. Here’s what happens when your horse is running low on magnesium:- They become nervous, jumpy, and overly excitable
- They suffer from tight, sore backs (and no, it’s not your saddle’s fault)
- They show signs of muscle tremors and skin hypersensitivity
The Power of Sodium Bicarbonate
Sodium bicarbonate, better known as baking soda, does more than just help with digestion. It plays a critical role in maintaining your horse’s acid-base balance (pH), protecting the intestines from stomach acid, and keeping the body’s electrical balance in check. While Pazture Guarde doesn’t use encapsulated sodium bicarbonate like “EquiShure,” it still provides the benefits of this essential compound to keep your horse’s digestive system running smoothly.Why Your Horse Needs Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate)
Pazture Guarde also packs in sodium ascorbate, a potent form of Vitamin C that’s less acidic and more easily absorbed. Vitamin C isn’t just a general health booster—it’s a water-soluble antioxidant that helps your horse stay strong, especially in times of stress. It combats harmful free radicals and supports the immune system by stimulating the production of antibodies, essential for fighting off infections, bacteria, and viruses.Factors that Impact Vitamin C Levels
Horses that graze on fresh pasture usually get enough Vitamin C from their diet. But here’s the catch—most horses don’t have access to constant grazing, especially those in demanding training programs. Stress from competition, transportation, and even routine procedures like vaccinations or castrations can deplete Vitamin C levels, leaving your horse vulnerable. That’s why supplementing with Vitamin C during stressful periods is crucial for supporting a strong immune system and healthy connective tissue.Bottom Line?
When your horse is dealing with stress—whether it’s from diet, training, or environmental factors—Pazture Guarde has the nutrients to keep them calm, focused, and ready to perform. From magnesium to Vitamin C, this powerful supplement tackles the root causes of behavioral issues and keeps your horse feeling and performing their best.Join our Email List to receive Discount Offers and Sale Announcements

Essentials Formula 1 With Selenium – Equine Vitamins, Minerals, and Hoof Supplement
Is Your Horse Struggling with Poor Hoof Quality, Mud Fever, or Skin Conditions?
Are your horse's hooves still cracking and brittle even though you take good care of them? Did you know, low levels of zinc and copper could be the problem? Learn how Essentials Formula 1, with selenium, can transform weak, brittle hooves into strong, resilient foundations for your horse in 6-9 months. Feeding Essentials Formula 1, daily can help prevent skin conditions like mud fever and rain scald, especially during wet conditions. This super equine vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and hoof supplement all rolled into one, promotes a shiny coat, healthy hooves, and topline. This formula has high levels of Biotin, plus amino acids, L-Lysine and DL-Methionine and L-Threonine. It has the correct ratio of Zinc to Copper for maximum absorption.Specifically formulated for NZ conditions and Soil types
Essentials Formula 1, provides essential nutrients lacking in many feed crops, pastures, and soil. It has no added iron, making it the perfect supplement for horses and ponies grazing on NZ pasture and drinking bore water with high iron content. Essentials Formula 1 is one of the best copper and zinc supplements for horses. Designed for horses and ponies not receiving premix feeds, or below recommended daily rate. It can also be fed when a very small amount of premix feed is fed, and daily recommended vitamin and mineral requirements are not being met. The level of selenium will generally keep the average horse or pony at current selenium levels unless the soil is fertilized with selenium prills or the pasture is high in selenium. Getting your horse's blood tested for selenium yearly is highly recommended.
Essentials Formula 1, Selenium Free is recommended when:
- Your horse or pony receives a blood test showing high selenium levels but still requires a vitamin and mineral supplement to maintain health with no selenium added.
- Is being supplemented with selenium from your veterinarian or other supplements?
- Grazing on a property that has high levels of selenium in the soil and pasture.
Equine Minerals: The Importance of Zinc, Copper, and an Iron-Free Formulation
New Zealand's pasture, hay, and feed crops have high iron levels which can reduce the availability of zinc and copper. The most common mineral imbalance in hay is too much iron combined with low zinc and copper levels. A high iron concentration can interfere with both zinc and copper absorption, making already low levels of these minerals even less available to your horse. Until recently, the veterinary industry has viewed iron toxicity in equines mainly as an acute condition—the result of overdosing on iron-containing supplements. However, researchers have found that equines exposed to high iron levels in water, grass, or hay over a prolonged period can accumulate the mineral in their livers, resulting in chronic iron overload. Black-skinned horses which include greys need more copper and zinc than others. Bays and chestnuts will look washed out with lighter colors than normal coats, and the blacks will have a definite reddish look. Horses need copper in their diets to properly utilize iron and to develop healthy connective tissue. It is also important for horses with allergies. It can lower the concentration of histamine in the body. Copper also helps to keep the central nervous system running correctly. In adult horses, a deficiency of copper and zinc in the diet may cause limb deformities, thinning of the bones, swelling of the joints, blood vessel weakness, connective tissue weakness, saggy skin, and a lowered immune system. Copper is the main mineral for the body to produce T cells. It is also important for bone integrity, heart health, skin pigmentation, and to prevent premature graying. Horses showing signs of low iron levels can be supplemented according to veterinary instructions. When copper deficiency occurs, iron levels fall too short, and anemia can develop.Avoid Added Iron
Avoid vitamin and mineral supplements for horses that contain added iron as an ingredient. Horses typically obtain more than enough iron from their diet, and excess intake could have negative health consequences. Products with added iron will have one of the following ingredients listed on the label:- iron oxide
- ferrous furmate
- ferrous sulfate
- ferrous gluconate
Magnesium
It does not contain Magnesium. Magnesium requirements are individual and a different magnesium product like Pazture Guarde or Pazture Mag can be added separately.Vitamin E
Vitamin E is not included in Essentials Formula 1 mineral/vitamin mixes because it oxidizes very quickly when added to feeds or multi-ingredient supplements. For this reason, it is more effective to supplement Vitamin E separately to ensure its benefits are fully realised.NZ Natural Zeolite
Essentials Formula 1 and 2 contain NZ natural Zeolite in the form of Optimate, an ACVM-registered toxin binder. This is a highly bioavailable natural form of silica that supports bone and connective tissue health. Performance horses and senior horses may especially benefit from Zeolite.Are you looking for a way to improve your horse's hoof health?
Essentials Formula contains high levels of Biotin. Each 22.5-gram scoop contains 15mg of biotin. This sulphur-containing B vitamin is essential for healthy hoof growth and plays a role in hoof horn quality and hoof wall strength. Biotin supplementation has become increasingly popular in recent years, as it can help correct biotin deficiencies, improve hoof hardness, and promote overall hoof health.Features:
🐎 Essential for healthy hoof growth: Biotin is an essential coenzyme in the metabolism of carbohydrates, protein and fat, enabling support of growth, performance work and reproduction. 💪 Improves hoof hardness: Biotin is used in supplements to improve the quality of the horse’s hoof and is also beneficial to the coat. 🦄 Promotes overall hoof health: By using a biotin supplement in your horse’s feed, it can help promote strong, healthy hoof horn growth.How it works:
Biotin should be fed to horses needing to improve poor hoof horn and develop healthy hooves. It acts as an essential coenzyme in the metabolism of carbohydrates, protein, and fat and so enables support of growth, performance work, and reproduction. Biotin is particularly important for normal thyroid and adrenal gland function.From: $34.50

Stormy Harford is a Siberian Husky and is 16 years old, these are recent photos of her on 4th July 2022.
Mega Dog Formula has made a huge difference to her mobility and well-being throughout her years.
She has been eating this since she was 6 years old, sprinkling on her food at night. Stormy still gets excited to go for daily walks, can still jump up on the bed, and loves going for a drive in the Ute.
For the last two years, she has developed a slight stiffness in her hip and front paw but provided she eats Mega Dog daily this is less noticeable.

Happy Birthday, 18 years old on 4th July 2024[/caption]
Testimonial - Jackie Cole - November 2024
Coco and Cassie have been taking Mega Dog Formula daily for around 7 years.
Cassie had TPLO surgery for her cruciate and was having weekly hydrotherapy, physio and laser treatment as part of her rehabilitation. The hydrotherapist recommended it to me.
I mentioned it to the Specialist Veterinarian Surgeon who had operated on Cassie. He seemed impressed with the ingredients, so both my fur babies have had daily doses ever since.
Cassie is a particularly fussy eater, but has happily eaten Mega Dog since day 1. Coco loves it!
Friends are always commenting how well Cassie and Coco look, how soft their fur is and how they don't smell doggy.
Out playing on the beach, other dog owners age them around 2, not the almost 9 years old that they are.
Being rescue dogs and having a rough start to their lives, I want to give them every chance of living to a happy and healthy old age. So far, it's looking great and I believe Mega Dog has played a part in that.
Dog Joint Supplements are recommended for:
- Large breeds, and breeds that are prone to joint problems.
- Puppies, once they stop growing (typically right after 12 months) enter the BEST time to start experiencing the greatest benefits of joint supplements.
- Older dogs
- Working Dogs
- After an Injury
Mega Dog Formula Ingredients:
- Rich in glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and Omega 3 fatty acids: help support healthy joints and connective tissue
- Glucosamine + chondroitin: help support healthy joints
- Joint support: helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the joints
- Antioxidants: help to protect the cells from damage
- Immune support: helps to keep the immune system strong
- Trace minerals: help to support the body's systems
- Digestive support: helps to keep the digestive system healthy
- Support for the connective tissue, bones, tendons, and cartilage: helps to keep the body's systems healthy and functioning properly.
- No artificial ingredients, additives, or preservatives.
- No wheat, rice, sugar, grains, cereals, soy, or gluten
Green Lipped Mussel Powder:
Green Lipped Mussel is 100% pure and sourced from clean, green New Zealand waters. These waters are primarily situated in the Marlborough Sounds. The powder is made by freeze-drying raw green-lipped mussels. This is then milled into a powder. The result is a naturally pure product that contains no additives or preservatives. It is one of nature's best sources of omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, chondroitin, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Nutrients naturally contained in green-lipped mussels assist with synovial fluid in the joints, and speed the repair of ligaments and tendons. It significantly increases joint mobility.MSM - Methysulfonylmethane:
Is an organic form of sulfur and an essential bonding element, for skin, nails, and connective tissue. As the body ages, the concentration of MSM in the body begins to decrease, so deficiencies may occur as part of the aging process. A low concentration of MSM in the body may result in both physical and psychological stress, organ, and tissue malfunction plus fatigue. A deficiency will result in a dull coat, skin problems, poor gastric health, low immune systems, and joint pain. The drying and processing of dog food considerably reduces and destroys MSM so adding it to the diet is important.Diatomaceous Earth:
It is the microscopic remains of fossilized diatoms, a type of algae. Diatoms are found in freshwater and saltwater. Diatom cell walls are made of silica. In today's grains, there is a shortage of silica. Years ago, the silica found in our foodstuff was adequate. With today's hybrids and depleted soils, only about 1/3 of the silica needed is supplied in the dog’s diet. Silica is important for bones, tendons, skin, cartilage, and blood vessels. It promotes improved health, well-being, and digestive health. Diatomaceous Earth also contains 15 trace minerals.Turmeric Root Powder:
Dogs can benefit substantially by adding turmeric to their diet. It is used in Indian curries and has a history of use in Indian and Chinese traditional medicine. It is a perennial plant of the ginger family. Curcumin is thought to be the principal pharmacological agent in turmeric. Today it is one of the most extensively researched herbs/spices for pharmacological use. It is favored for its potentially beneficial use in helping an extensive range of health conditions due to its excellent qualities. Clinical studies have proven that curcumin provides highly powerful antioxidant effects and its ability to neutralize free radicals. Free radicals cause painful inflammation and eventual damage to joints.Glucosamine Sulphate:
Is it a natural substance found in your pet's body, with the highest concentration found in healthy cartilage? The glucosamine in your dog's body produces glycosaminoglycan, which is used to help form and repair body tissues such as cartilage. As your dog ages, the natural production of glucosamine in the body slows. As a result, the natural repair process in the body slows, eventually leading to joint pain and stiffness. The ongoing wear and tear on your dog's joints, combined with the slowed repair time of the cartilage, leads to the development of painful arthritis. The good news is that research has found that providing supplements of glucosamine for dogs can help rebuild cartilage, which can help restore your dog's joint function and activity levels.Benefits of glucosamine for dogs:
- Glucosamine has an anti-inflammatory effect, helping to reduce your dog's pain.
- Side effects are very rare.
- Helps restore joint health naturally, increasing mobility.
- Improves lubrication in your dog's joints.
- May reduce or eliminate the need for NSAIDs, which have possible side effects and don't repair the joints, only reduce pain.
Humic Acid:
Our Humic Acid is a registered feed product for animals overseas. It is a unique earth-based nutritional supplement for use when requirements for trace minerals are not being met by the dog’s diet. It soothes and supports the digestive tract and provides the nutrients to help assist with gut ulcers. It supports the immune system and helps your dog look shiny and well.Vitamin C - (Sodium Ascorbate):
Vitamin C benefits the sick and the stressed. This may be appropriate when dealing with healthy unstressed animals, but recent clinical observations indicate that when dogs are sick or stressed, they can rapidly deplete their body's output of vitamin C. A 1942 study noted that dogs with skin diseases usually have very low amounts of vitamin C in their blood. Other researchers have found the blood levels of vitamin C to be low and even non-existent in dogs with fevers and dogs who have exercised to their limits (sled dogs after a race, for example, or hunting dogs in the middle of hunting season). Stress is the best-known cause of vitamin C depletion in dogs. Physical stress comes in many forms: gestation, lactation, growth, hard work (dogs used for herding, hunting, tracking, etc.), vaccinations, injuries, tail-docking or ear cropping, and illness. Emotional stress, caused by relocation, weaning, or demanding training, can also deplete this reserve. Researchers can measure the level of stress a dog experiences by measuring the degree of depletion of the vitamin in the dog’s blood. Conversely, many studies have found that dogs (as well as humans) that are supplemented with vitamin C show greater disease resistance, and a better ability to recover from injuries or illness. Mega Dog Formula is designed for puppies, growing dogs, and older dogs. It is a powder that is sprinkled on food.Join our Email List to receive Discount Offers and Sale Announcements

White Willow Bark powder helps support joints and the musculoskeletal system in horses and ponies with painful issues. It contains salicylic acid, which helps reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Due to their chemical similarity, one could assume that White Willow Bark's efficacy is the same as that of aspirin. Unlike aspirin, white willow bark has no blood-thinning effects and is not detrimental to the stomach lining. It can therefore also be given to horses and dogs. So if your horse is starting to show signs of arthritis, this could be a great natural remedy. Here are some of the benefits our customers have reported:- Reduces inflammation and relieves pain.
- Supports joints and the musculoskeletal system.
- Helps with mobility problems, especially in older horses.
- Assist with shoeing and hoof trimming by making the horse more comfortable during the process.
Anna McKee shares her review below:
About 9 months ago my retired horse Tom, a 20 year old Warmblood TB started to really struggle to keep his feet up while being trimmed. Tom had become increasingly stiff but had always been OK to trim. He could no longer get his legs forward to keep his hoof on the hoof stand. He became reluctant to even lift his foot off the ground. My trimmer had to get very creative to get the job done which became increasingly difficult for her and Tom. I tried giving him a high dose of Bute before trimming but it made no difference. Walking him for 15 minutes before his trim helped a little bit but not enough to show any real improvement.
In early February I was given a sample of Power Star Nutrition White Willow. 3 days before his trim I started giving it to Tom, gradually increasing the dose to the maximum the night before and the morning of trimming. The improvement was dramatic. Tom was able to put his foot up on the stand and keep it there. His trim was straightforward and done with ease. My Trimmers were thrilled and relieved. I decided to wait for 2 more trims to be done just to be sure that it was the White Willow that was making the difference. The next trim went really well.
At the time of his third trim I was really busy caring for some feral kittens and as I was so distracted I forgot to start the White Willow 3 days before the trim. For that trim Tom only got the high dose, the night before and the morning of the trim and once again it worked its magic and he was comfortable being trimmed.
This has made such a difference and I am so happy that Tom is comfortable and my trimmer is safe doing her job.
I would recommend this product very highly to anyone whose horse is struggling with joint issues or pain.

It also has benefits for equines with poor hoof condition, as well as performance horses thanks to its ability to minimize oxidative damage and inflammation, boosting muscle recovery time.Here are some of the Benefits of MSM and Vitamin C:
- Helps horses and ponies move more freely and recover from injuries quickly.
- Benefits for equines with poor hoof condition.
- Minimizes oxidative damage and inflammation, boosting muscle recovery time.
Why Feed MSM for Horses?
- Although naturally occurring in foods such as Lucerne and whole grains, the amount of MSM from the horse's diet is unlikely to be a significant contributor compared to supplementing with the pure ingredient.
- MSM is essential for joint health and one of its most important roles is the production of collagen, which is a component of connective tissue and cartilage which are the “shock absorbers’ of the joints. MSM can be beneficial for any horse, young or old, in need of additional joint support.
- MSM has benefits for heavily exercised horses by minimizing oxidative damage and inflammation allowing their muscles to recover quickly. It is frequently given to high-performance horses to keep them in top competition shape.
- It can help to promote an active lifestyle, by helping older horses to stay comfortable and mobile.
- It can support the production of keratin – a protein that makes up hair, hooves, and skin. MSM is wonderful for promoting healthy hooves.
- It helps support soft tissue, tendon, and ligament health. MSM can prevent oxidative damage; help to produce glutathione (an antioxidant that keeps tissues healthy); and is rich in sulfur for joint, tissue, tendon, and ligament health.

What our clients say
Just wanted to complete a testimonial for your amazing Ulzeraide Plus product as we have been using it for quite some time now and have found great results.
Ulzeraide Plus has given my sensitive kai – Lynx – huge amounts of relief. Lynx is not only prone to the grass-affected crazies but has been of late, very grumpy and sensitive to touch.
I have found with both his nature and our varied pasture, that a lot of common toxin binders just weren’t working for us, this product is honestly as good as we were hoping for!
Not only is Ulzeraide Plus effective, palatable, and good value, the customer service is fantastic and it is so great to be able to support a local NZ business.
I recommend to anyone who is thinking this product may be worth trying to give it a go and see the difference in the comfort of your horse after the 1st month.

I’ve been using Power Star Nutrition products for about the past 3 years. I use their Essentials Formula 1 consistently, along with Ulzeraide and either Pazture Guarde or Pasture Mag during the spring and summer seasons.
The Essentials formula has given both of my horses soft, shiny coats with visible dapples, and promotes strong hoof growth. Additionally, the added zinc and copper help to keep mud fever away on my white legged horse.
Ulzeraide has been essential for managing my horse’s hindgut acidosis, effectively solidifying his poo and alleviating acidity. He’s noticeably happier and more comfortable since starting on it.
During periods of rapid grass growth, Pazture Guarde helps offset magnesium deficiencies, which can make my horses excitable, along with the sodium bicarb in it buffering the stomach acid, noticeably calms and focuses them. Through trial and error, I’ve found magnesium aspartate to be the most effective form for my horse affected by lush grass.
These products have made a significant difference in the well-being and performance of my horses over the years.

We’re loving your products. Our ponies all get fed Essentials Formula 1 and either Pazture Guarde or Pazture Mag depending on their needs.
Since starting to use your products we’ve had much less mud rash and hoof abscesses. A young pony we have got very grass affected a few months ago and we couldn’t do anything with her. We put her on Pazture Guard and it made a huge difference so we could carry on backing her.
Attached are a couple of photos of our scruffy but very healthy 22 year old pony broodmare. One is a month before foaling and the other a day after having her seventh and final foal. Both showing her Essentials Formula dapples and shine

Both my horses Rico (25) and Jett (7) have been using MSM for a few years now.
Originally Rico was on Eaze up. But I changed to MSM as a test to see how well he would do on it.
Prior to using Powerstar Nutrition products Rico would get puffy legs after jumping on hard ground or even a hard gallop at the beach. He doesn’t miss a day of taking it and I can say that we gallop weekly, either on the hunt field (where he still happily gates as he has hunted for 21 years and this is where he is happiest) or at the beach, and he has not had a single unsound day!
Jett uses MSM as he is a big horse at 17.1hh and he is solid. He works hard as a hunter and I love knowing that his joints are supported by such a great product, especially at the start of the season when the ground is quite hard.

White Willow Bark Review – About 9 months ago my retired horse Tom, a 20-year-old warmblood TB started to really struggle to keep his feet up while being trimmed. Tom had become increasingly stiff but had always been OK to trim. He could no longer get his legs forward to keep his hoof on the hoof stand. He became reluctant to even lift his foot off the ground.
My trimmer had to get very creative to get the job done which became increasingly difficult for her and Tom. I tried giving him a high dose of Bute before trimming but it made no difference.
Walking him for 15 minutes prior to his trim helped a little bit but not enough to show any real improvement.
In early February I was given a sample of Power Star Nutrition White Willow. 3 days prior to his trim I started giving it to Tom, gradually increasing the dose to the maximum the night before and the morning of trimming.
The improvement was dramatic. Tom was able to put his foot up on the stand and keep it there. His trim was straightforward and done with ease. My Trimmers were thrilled and relieved. I decided to wait for 2 more trims to be done just to be sure that it was the White Willow that was making the difference.
The next trim went really well. At the time of his third trim, I was really busy caring for some feral kittens and as I was so distracted I forgot to start the White Willow 3 days before the trim. For that trim, Tom only got the high dose the night before and the morning of the trim and once again it worked its magic and he was comfortable being trimmed. This has made such a difference and I am so happy that Tom is comfortable and my trimmer is safe doing her job.
I would recommend this product very highly to anyone whose horse is struggling with joint issues or pain.

My pony Jinx had previously had stomach ulcers but even after treatment, he was still off and on being grumpy when touched and had a very tense choppy way of going especially his canter.
So we started using Ulzeraide Plus to prevent the ulcers from coming back and it changed his whole way of going! He’s now a very chilled-out pony who really covers the ground when moving.
He has always been a very successful show pony but since getting on top of the ulcers he can now put in a very good dressage test starting out at Level 2 this year with some scores in the 70s!
He can also score well in his canter work and has recently come home with lots of champion paced and mannered in the show ring something we never thought would be possible before.
I’ve had amazing results with the Power Star Nutrition products and highly recommend them.

My 15-year-old mare Jazz has been using Power Star Nutrition supplements for 4 years now.
In 2016 I contacted Rachel for nutritional advice and started Jazz on Pazture Mag and Ulzeraide. It worked on her within 3 days of feeding. Her temperament changed dramatically and was a pleasure to ride.
She went from spooking at her shadow to relaxed and rideable. I then added ‘Ease Up’ for her joints as she was always a bit stiff starting on a ride. This too has had an amazing effect on her.
She feels so much softer throughout her body! And is much happier in her work. Yay! 
I also started my mare Jay on the supplements. Jay’s coat is amazing!
She won best Rheinland Mare last week on the Hanoverian tour! The judges were all very impressed with her shiny coat and dapples. The girls have been so happy and relaxed the past month.
